About Penn Presbyterian Medical Center – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Penn Presbyterian Medical Center is located in the center of Philadelphia and just south of the Philadelphia Zoo. Their program uses a multidisciplinary team approach to coordinate your care from an initial evaluation until discharge. Their complete care includes the prevention, treatment, and management of behavioral and psychiatric conditions, including addiction to alcohol, nicotine, and chemical dependency.

They use evidence-based treatment approaches while balancing psychosocial treatment with pharmacotherapy. Your program can include individual and group counseling sessions, peer support, and lifestyle modification strategies that support the whole person. They recognize that substance use disorders are a multi-faceted challenge. They understand that supporting overall wellness, also supports long-term recovery.

The goal is to ensure you are medically and emotionally stable and supported using a multidisciplinary team approach to care that includes psychiatrists, counselors, case managers, and peers. Your program can so include medication assisted treatment to address cravings, 12-step recovery education and information, and relapse prevention planning.

The clinicians here understand that addiction is a disease that impacts the family system. They’re trained in Ecosystematic Structural Family Therapy to give your family with the support needed to heal and promote your long-term recovery. You can elect to receive treatment within their clinical programs or participate in a research trial at no cost.
